But can you really get an hourglass figure if you’re not born with it?

How to get a smaller waist, and get an hourglass body shape?

Well, today I’ll give you a little guide on how to get an hourglass figure, and find out if it is actually possible to do this, depending on your genetics!

Let’s get started.

Can You Change Your Body Shape?

Have you ever asked your self, what body shape am I?!

Well, there are few body shapes:

Pear – narrow shoulders and wider hips,

apple – rounder in the mid section with thinner legs,

inverted triangle – broad shoulders and narrower hips,

ruler – Straight up and down so your shoulders, waist and hips look almost the same width when viewed from straight on, and

hourglass shape – balanced upper and lower body with a narrow waist.

Now the question is can we change our body shape?

Can we change our shape waist and our genes?

YES WE CAN!

Just because you are in one of these categories does not mean you can’t alter the way your body looks.

It’s true, you cannot turn from being a ruler to an hourglass, because it just won’t happen due to your genetics, build and bone structure.

BUT, the truth is that you can sculpt parts of your body through exercising, you can achieve the best shape of your body!

You cannot control where your body stores fat, but how much fat is stored is entirely your choice.

So step by step I’m going to give you some tips so that you can finally get the body shape you want.

I’m going to give you every single detail you need to know if you want to get the shape of your dreams.

I’m going to lead you through every single step that I did, so that you can try it for yourself and finally succeed!

So fit girls, take a few moments to get the ultimate hourglass shape guide!

How To Get An Hourglass Figure

There are few steps that I followed:

Start Doing Strength Training

Follow The Right Workout Program

Include The Right Foods In Your Diet

Avoid The Wrong Exercises

Most of the fit girls get this body by working hard, so I’m gonna show you how to do it!

1. Start Doing Strength Training

Through proper fitness, you can flatten your stomach and achieve a smaller mid-section.

Just don’t get this wrong, you cannot do that by doing ABS exercises, some particular exercises, or exercising only your core.

There are no such things as “waist exercises”:

You can achieve your beloved figure only by exercising your body as a whole piece!

Which it is, right!

You have to perform exercises that focus on shaping your shoulders, back, but, arms and thighs – The point is to gain some lean muscles in the right parts and lose weight in parts where you don’t need it.

That’s why the very first step in my “how to get an hourglass figure” guide belongs to strength training.

Why? Because by lifting your body will start getting toned and every single part of it will start taking a nice shape, that in the end leads to a hourglass figure.

Just running or doing cardio training wont get you curved body – You’ll need to do much more.

You can do cardio and lose weight, but the curves happen when you HEAT THE WEIGHTS!

That’s because strength training gives you a nice body shape, and here’s the prove for that….

I really wanted to get toned and curved, but was a pear shape as you can see on the before photo.

Then, after I started doing strength training, my body started shaping into the nicest figure ever, and I was loving it.

After just a few months, I got toned, curved and sexy, and most important of all – I GOT MY HOURGLASS SHAPE!

How did I do that?

With the “Breaking Fat” workout program!

And that’s our next step, so let’s head on!

Follow The Right Workout Program

The real point in every workout is to have the right plan,

Otherwise, how are you supposed to know how to do it right.

Many girls go to the gym daily, but they are randomly choosing exercises on different gym machines, not knowing what muscle group they’re actually working on.

And the truth is that you’re body should be exercised in the right way so that you get the most out of your workouts and the most out of your time passed in the gym.

So to do that, you have to know few really important things:

how many reps and sets to do;

how many days a week to exercise;

what exercises to chose;

how to do the exercises right;

when to do cardio workouts;

which muscle groups goes together;

how to choose the right weight range;

And how are you supposed to know these things?

Well, by the right workout program and that is the “Breaking Fat” Workout Program.

This is the program that I followed and got my results.

You’re actually 5 months away from your dream body – you just have to want it bad enough.

This workout program is a full pack of:

workout plan with exercises shown in the best workout videos

suggested diet plan with what you should and what you shouldn’t eat

an actual time guide of when to eat and when to workout

printable program schedule

motivating and inspiring guide

every juicy detail you need to know about your fitness journey

In other words – you’re getting all your doubts on how to get an hourglass figure by finally getting it for free, in just 5 months, and in return you have to take a few minutes of your time and check the workout program.

So head on to the plan to learn everything about strength training!

Include The Right Foods In Your Diet

You are what you eat, remember?

Well, I’m sorry, you’ve probably heard this a thousand times, but the truth is that everything comes to what you eat at the end.

You can work your ass off every single day of your life, but if you don’t eat right, it’s all worthless.

You can never out-train a bad diet!

You can lose fat through the workout, but if you’re not eating the right foods, your body will still store fat – and that’s a fact!

So to avoid this you should start eating healthy food, filled with veggies, proteins healthy fats and fibers.

It’s not enough to choose low calorie foods – it all comes to choosing high quality foods at the end!

So because of that, I have the best meal plan prepared for you:

By heading to this meal plan, you’re going to learn every single detail about what foods you should be eating and what you should avoid.

Also, you’re getting some meal ideas, for every meal of the day, starting from breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and supplements.

You’ll not only lose weight and promote your hourglass body shape, but you’re going to improve your health too – and that’s what matters in the end!

I also, suggest you to avoid sugar in any form, since sugar is considered as one of our worst enemies – the modern drug of our generation!

Here’s more about why you should quit sugar and how to do it easy and fast with my “Team-Up Technique”:

Exercises You Want To Avoid

There are not bad exercises!

But, when it comes to certain exercises, you have to know that some of them can get you to a change you might not like.

Your abs play a large role in your torso shape, so you should keep them toned and tight, but avoid exercises that might harm your hourglass figure.

And what abs exercises?

Well, you might want to avoid side bands exercises.

Standing, seated and lying side bends specifically target the external oblique muscles, which run lengthwise down your sides.

These exercises are not necessarily beneficial for strengthening the midsection and they may add width to your sides. Instead, try rotational exercises that engage all the muscles of the abdomen to help keep your waist tiny. – Dr. Len Kravitz

Dr. Len Kravitz is right, these kind of exercises strengthen your side ABS muscles and that way your core can get straight on the sides giving the illusion that you don’t have small waist.

Although, this can happen only if you have a shape that doesn’t have that much waist since they may expand your waist even more.

Now It’s Your Turn To Rock Your Hourglass Body Shape!

Now, after you know every single detail in getting your hourglass figure, it’s your turn!

Take an action, sign up to the closest gym and start working out.

Everything you need is already inside you, you just need to make sure that you are stronger than your excuses!

This is an amazing and inspiring blog! Thank you so much!
I just have one question, with the workout programmes in the ultimate guide on how to lose weight, would you use all three programmes at the same time, do alternate weeks or do the weight loss one until you have lost the amount of weight you want to lose and then do the toning ones?
Thanks for you help! Megan X

Hi Megan,
I’m sorry that I’m so late with my reply 🙁
The thing is, you should workout daily, and make it a lifestyle. If athletes stop working out, they’ll gain weight faster than it took them to lose that weight. So unless you make it a lifestyle, there is no way to keep the form for a longer amount of time.
For the workout programs, you can pick one of the programs that you like the most and do that one.
Best wishes!

Hi Cassidy,
I’m so sorry if I offended you in any way. That’s not what I meant at all, honestly! I meant it like the skinny fat, when people starve and get that skinny, not healthy look.
I just want to inspire more and more people to start working out, because it’s healthy in the first place and it’s really life changing. I really didn’t mean to offend any girl out there.
You’re 100% right, I’ll be more careful next time.

Hi Grace,
the side crunches for example, are an example of exercise that makes your side muscles stronger and makes you look like a square.
If you have a natural waist, it cannot make i disappear, but if you don’t have your waist showing, then you might want to avoid these exercises.

i work out every day. I do cardio and different exercises every day, but don’t seem to lose the lower belly fat and don’t seem to be getting the toned body that I want. What more do I need to do to achieve better results?

You can do a lot of things. For example, you can try increasing the weights, and lowering the reps when you workout. I have 3 workout programs, I suggest you to pick one and start doing it. They are in the menu bar, you’ll find them easy.
Just don’t expect results right away, remember it takes time and a lot of effort, moths sometimes even years.
All the best
Monica

Hi,
I’m looking at losing weight and lifting to gain muscle. What is the best way for any woman wanting the same thing. Im been trying to eat healthy and drink lots of water, but drinking water during the day is hard for me to do.Don’t know why ???? What are the best supplements to take to build muscle?

Hi dear, I have been working on my body and your exercises are amazing-your program thank you. But actualy there is one thing I want to ask you to help me.
Actualy is not about me, its about other girl friend. Just a couple of days ago she asked me about what exercises I am doing and we have a talk about that. She wants so much to change the way her body looks and she wants to be hourglass. When I told her I am going to gym she kind of lost her hope because she cant afford herself because of economic reasons to go there. But she is really not confident and I feel really bad for her especialy because I was going through the same low self esteem BECAUSE of my body. Can you PLEASE help her? Maybe some exercises that will make her look an hourglass without gum or diets.
Her family is really strict to her. She doesn’t drink harmful drinks and she does not eat dinner-just breakfast and lunch. I hope you find the solution. You are goddess

Dear Monica,
I’m so glad that you like my blog and find it inspiring.
We’ve all been there, but what your friend really needs is your support.
I can see that you’re giving her all support she needs, so keep doing that, because support is everything.
She can do the Breaking Fat workout program, you can find it on my blog.
That’s a gym workout program, but she can do it at home, with her own body weight.
Also, I always recommend resistance bands for people that for any reason are not able to go to the gym:
They are cheap, and useful.
Hope I helped 🙂
Love,
Monica

If my shoulders appear wider than my hips but I have large thighs , could I still be an inverted triangles? My hips are narrow but my thighs curve outward from my butt. My shoulders appear to be the widest part of my body.

Hi Jordan,
Well, as I said, You can never change the construction of your body and bones, and where your body stores fat, but you can definitely work on how much fat it stores and how much fat it burns on daily basis.
So, I’ll suggest you to start working out and take it from there 🙂

You can’t “create” a different body shape any more than you can get thinner bones or smaller feet. Not without serious surgery anyway. It’s your bone shape that determines what shape you have… and very few women have an hourglass. Most of them have ruler, then pear, then cone or apple, then hourglass, and that’s fine. All the weight loss in the world can’t get you a proportionately narrower waist, which is all an hourglass shape is.
